A Good Birthday for Me

[dgs49]

I just got a robo-birthday card from my boss many levels up, and he included everyone in the group with a September birthday.

When it comes to birthdays, I think September is the best month, for a boy. If you were born in September, then you will be among the oldest players on your baseball and soccer teams (where the cut-off is July 31st), AND, if your parents are smart, they will hold you out of school so that you will be six when you enter first grade, thus making you one of the oldest kids in your grade in school.

Being the oldest at a young age, in my opinion, is a very bid advantage for a kid. In TeeBall and First Grade, you will be the biggest, strongest, most mature, and will draw the favor and attention of the coaches and teachers. This will help you to advance a little more quickly than your unfortunate peers who may have been born in, say June or July, and by the time you are older this advantage will not become less but will rather be fortified.

Indeed, it has been noted that 70% of the Canadian players in the NHL had "good" birthdays.

You can also see it in Little League World Series telecasts, where half the kids on these winning teams are 13 years old by the time the teams get to the last rounds, meaning that they are almost all August birthdays.

Unfortunately for me, my parents saw things the opposite way, and put me in first grade when I was 5 (didn't go to K'garten). thus I was one of the youngest kids in the class, as well as being the youngest in my family.

so you were the littlest, weakest, most immature and drew disfavor from all the coaches and teachers?

october birthdays are better. for no other reason than we beat up everyone with september birthdays.

Try being a new year baby.. "This year, instead of a separate birthday and Xmas present, we got you one big present."

September babies are the result of Christmas seasonal fucking. Nothing nicer than to fill your stocking for the Yule Season.

I was a preemie that should've been born in September/October.

My siblings and I were all born in the last days of August/first week of September; being Jewish, my parents had no interest in Christmas shopping on Black Friday.

How about only having a birthday every four years? I'll be having my fourteenth birthday in February...

My nephew was born on Sept 23. I'm almost certain I heard the sounds of him being conceived when my sister and brother-in-law were staying in the room next to the bath when we were all home the previous Xmas. I don't think I'll tell him that at least until he has children of his own, however.
